Description
Beijing Sprawl by Zechen Xu is a collection of stories about young men navigating life in the city. Set against the backdrop of Beijing's urban landscape, these interconnected tales explore themes of friendship, struggle, and survival. The characters in Xu's world are often forced to rely on their wits and resourcefulness to get by, whether it's through finding work, building relationships, or simply making ends meet. As they go about their daily lives, they find comfort in the company of those around them, even as they face the challenges of a rapidly changing city. Translated from Chinese by Eric Abrahamsen and Jeremy Tiang, these stories offer a unique glimpse into life in modern China, where the pursuit of opportunity and the struggle to make a living are intertwined.
